RISING DODO

front-end design & project insights

ABOUT

Miguel Ángel
Morales

Under Rising Dodo's brand I work as a freelance, mostly in ICT related projects, taking responsibility in the front-end design and the brand identity. I also have a business related background and I am usually involved in some startup, whether it is one of my own or some colleagues's.

Front-end
design

The front-end is the visual part of a website, an app or any program. Our process is based in playing 'the user's role' game in order to design the simplest and most intuitive interface that he should expect, seeking the alignment between the aim of the tool and the User Experience (UX) principles.

Project
insights

Appart from the design, I take part in many projects providing a business strategy view. I collaborate with many other experts, in order to meet the technological, economic, social and legal needs of the idea.

THE STORY OF OUR BRAND

— in response to the F.A.Q. about its name —

TRANSCRIPT FROM OUR FLYER

The dodo was a clumsy bird that lived in the Mauritius island. It was first discovered by Dutch sailors in 1598 and it was hunted with no mercy to its extinction in 1662, barely 64 years later. This story sadly became a symbol of animal extinction as directly caused by human impact.
When we funded our corporate identity and graphic communication company, we wanted to be like a dodo coming back to life, heroic, a sort of the Phoenix mith. But never revengeful or threatening towards the humans in his message. The dodo would have reborn peacefully, to give us his friendly advise about how to respect the nature of things, even with a funny touch, just like he used to move his chubby body.
